#ColorectalCancer liver metastasis detection timing—synchronous vs early or late metachronous—was not independently associated with overall survival after adjustment, supporting treatment planning guided by tumor burden and treatment feasibility. ja.ma/4sODvyM

Postpancreatectomy-specific complications account for nearly half of in-hospital deaths after pancreatoduodenectomy. The long intervals between onset and mortality highlight opportunities to prevent failure to rescue. journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…

Our @MayoCancerCare Enterprise paper is finally out! 1,446 pts w “upfront resectable” PDAC. Any vein abutment portended ⬇️OS, but this diff was mitigated when NAT was used. ⬆️aggressive vein resections didn’t change OS. Time to redefine resectability? doi.org/10.6004/jnccn.2025.7…

“I’ve got kids who have the same genetic disease that I have and I certainly think about them all the time, and want them to have more options than my dad had, or my brother or I had.” @nyulangone chair of surgery Dr. Bob Montgomery featured in @guardian: theguardian.com/science/2025…

✂️ How to determine resectability of locally advanced pancreas cancer?! 🎯 Suitable target is a disease-free arterial or venous segment above and below the tumor involvement 👷 “Reconstructability” is based on expertise and tumor biology 🧬 journals.lww.com/journalacs/…

Settling down in #NYC for my fellowship in HPB and liver transplant surgery at @nyulangone, all things complex livers and locally advanced pancreas surgery, complex robotic surgery and much more.

The human obsession with immortality or another life is fascinating...But then maybe the Pharaohs were onto something there .. They somehow continue to live and, they must feel vindicated bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-…
Wow, this is a great story !

Thank you 🙏 Definitely one of my pet peeves, people think giving a 40mmol of k in a bag of fluid will correct hypokalemia !! The way I remember it: 200-400mmol of k to raise serm level by 1.0 AND IV supp can't beat sandok if tolerated, unless in a big vein in ICU!
A reminder that, to correct hypokalaemia, 100mmol of K+ is needed for every 0.3mmol⬇️in serum K+ (normally 3.5-5.0) ∴ ✳️ 3.2-3.5 = 100 mmol ⬇️ ✳️ 2.9-3.2 = 200 mmol ⬇️ ✳️ 2.6-2.9 = 300 mmol ⬇️ ✳️ 2.3-2.6 = 400 mmol ⬇️ ⚠️ Sando K = 12 mmol K+ 2x Sando K TDS = 72mmol K+
For change, I'm enjoying the wait for the cardiothoracic long assessment at retrieval, I get to follow the @roux_group meeting in the coffee room 🤓

Excellent discussion and, may I add, a consensus.. more or less
35 y , M, peri ampullary adenoca. jaundice and GOO +. For PD. On laparotomy, 1.7 cm liver lesion in S5, reported as hemangioma on preop scan. Frozen=malignant epithelial cells. How do you proceed? @IHPBA @hpb_so
Talk about really specific questions, I like this
Very simple question : If somebody had data about the risk #cholangiocarcinoma of #intrahepatic #lithiasis in #asymptomatic non asiatic patient with or without #liver #atrophy ? @AFEFoie @hpb_so @lachbt @curecc @CCA_Alliance @IHPBA @MayoClinic @sapisochin @institut_curie
